The Partido Democrático Social Verde, or Social Democratic Green Party, is a liberal and environmentalist party in Davostan.

[edit] Overview

The party was founded in 2411, and in just a few years has had a visible impact on the countries policies in the areas it is most concerned with. DSV-introduced bills have been passed to establish a national park system and require local governments to protect forest land, to abolish the development and use of chemical and biological weapons, and to protect women's right to choose. SDG member and environmental activist Alberto Verdegor was the party's first member of the cabinet, serving as Davostan's Environment and Tourism Minister. In the 2419 elections, DSV secured a left majority and won the second-most votes in Dakruth Estado, making a more substantial dent in the strength of the Satanic Republicans than any other party in recent years. In 2423, Guillermo Ricardo Lopez was elected Presidente and the DSV became the largest party. The government was the first in three electoral cycles to serve a full term, and DSV was re-elected handily in 2426. In recent decades the DSV has been the strongest center-left voice in Davostan, opposing both neo-liberal and outright statist positions of the extreme parties.

[edit] Political Positions

The DSV platform is defined by environmental and social responsibility, through protection of our ecosytems and promoting sustainable living, helping those in need, and striving for social and economic equality. This effort requires an active role for the government, within certain limits.
